At the Trap.
The Forester Gun Clubs monthly pigeon
shoot at Agricultural Park yesterday morn
ing was well contested, by four of the
members especially, and many spectators
enjoyed the contest. Prior to the main
match there was pool shot at six birds
with seven contestants, in which J. A.
Todd carried off the honors with clean
score; and DR.. Tebbets won pool match
after the main issue with score of FIVE out
OF six. The medal shoot had fourteen
entries. The birds were a strong lot and
the high wind prevailing caused them to
wobble about on the weeds and grass be-
fore fully starting on the wing to such an
extent that snap-shooting was impossible.
Consequently the greater portion of the
shooters had tailers of the hardest kind
to throw their lead at, and many hard hit
birds got outside the flags. The
three Gerber brothers held their
usual place in the front rank.
John and Henry killed IL each and w.
f. tied Vermilya with a clean score OF IL.
In shooting off at four birds each, however
Vermilya won missing but one bird, while
his opponent missed two. The following
is the record of the match
